SUMMARY
Ultrasonic cleaning utilizes high-frequency sound waves to create microscopic bubbles in a cleaning solution, which implode and generate intense pressure and temperature, effectively removing contaminants from surfaces. The process relies on cavitation, where sound waves induce rapid pressure changes in the liquid, leading to the agitation of water molecules. This method is widely used for cleaning delicate items such as jewelry, lenses, and electronic components.
